Our badges have our picture, name and a bar code. That's it. No company name, at least not until we got bought out by a bigger company but we don't use their ID's.
Those smart meters can be bricked. Just search around. And you could also get creative, say encasing your meter in a nice grounded Faraday cage. That will block out a 2.4GHz signal.
Is that you have the DEA openly admitting that it's collateral damage and then trying to deflect the blame on the criminals making meth as opposed to the idiot legislators who crafted the law in the first place.
That we did math, physics and chemistry in high school. Yes, I went to a college preparatory academy, Catholic too. You may have heard of it, LaSalle Academy.
My first pass at college I was bored to tears. You can only walk me through algebra, linear systems and BASIC so many times before I revolt and I did. I wrote a CCL script on the DEC PDP-11/70 that utilized the ability to intercept terminal I/O. You thought you were logging on to the system but you were first giving me your userID and password which I'd then pass to system via CCL facilities.
All because I wanted to be able to view systat. Yes, I knew RSTS/E already when I hit college because I had all the systems manuals complements of my aunt who was administering a PDP-11/34 running RSTS/E.
But our public schools are doing a horrible job of educating our young. It's not necessarily the fault of the educators per se, they're still educating to a 19th century model. What we need is a 21st century model, and that includes serious vocational training too.
I just setup a mail template that essentially says "Undeliverable" and then setup a mail filter to auto-respond with that template if a certain person emailed me.
The text of the message is:
Your message to:{your email}

MTA-Intermail550
That last part, my provider uses Intermail so I looked up it's error codes and just used the 550 message.
No kidding. This along with many experimental models prove that everything evolves, including bacterial colonies. And now proof that complex organisms can spontaneously evolve, I wonder how the 6,000 year old earthers will respond.
The problem is, if Jonathan and his friends are successful that is precisely what will happen. The state legislators are going to do doublt time to craft a law that preserves the rights of the citizen, while limiting the access of another citizen namely the corporations.
Yes I know already, corporation as citizens is a legal fiction and that little problem needs to be solved post haste.
Which of course brings up another issue entirely that their God is a deceitful character. You get the idea that he's a very unsavory individual from reading the Old Testament. And if you read the entire text of both the old and new Testaments, you see a definitive change in their God. In essence in the latter God takes back seat to Jesus.
There is one other thing that irritates me about the religious dominionists/fundamentalists. It's the fact that the vast majority of them have never read the entire text of the Bible. Instead they've allowed themselves to be spoon fed the drivel that their priest or pastor has as an agenda.
For the young earther crowd to say this is just their God testing them.
Plus it's already been established that modern humans date back over 100,000 years now. So I'd say that their 6,000 year old earth theory is complete bunk.
And now, we have evidence of a fossil from 135 Million years ago. It's getting good.
Is power. And power had been fairly stable. Add to that the fact that newer routing gear isn't as power hungry as the old and you can see we are getting raked over the coals.
It's the same thing with telephony. The long distance market fell apart because the cost to carry the calls kept dropping with increased levels of automation. Now long distance is bundled in with the normal monthly cost of most phone plans wired or wireless.
And even wireless services, they're getting increasingly less expensive to provide too. But they'll try to charge all the market will bear.
And need I bring up banks that rely on some of the technologies above? Why do you pay a foreign ATM fee that's a full 30% of the average $20 withdrawal when we KNOW that the cost for the network transports are hundreths of a cent per transaction? The bottom dropped out, but banks being greedy, rapacious bastards, will charge all the market will bear.
That I tested Firefox 3.6.22 (I refuse to use the newer versions since they mess with Java processes.) and that scored 179/450 on the HTML5 test.
Then I tried IE 8. That got a dismal 69/450
Trying Google Chrome v15.0.874.51 beta-m yields a 328/450.
So if two of the three browsers are up to current version and the highest score is 328/450 then how the hell do they expect people to be able to visit HTML5 sites reliably?
I just read Sonia Arrison's "100 Plus". Didn't really tell me what I didn't know already, but it did expand on elements of getting the word out, of getting it out to the public.
You see, I've read about life extension, from Heinlein's books, to Dr. Aubrey de Grey, and other leading lights of the human life and health span fields.
But Arrison pulls it all together. We could conservatively get 150 years out of the human body, and that's the conservative estimate. And it's here now, not something that is a pipe dream. She touches on regenerative medicine and to me that's the most fascinating part. So far they've grown new bladders, esophagus, trachea, even livers, and limbs. It isn't long before we have all the vascularized tissues down too.
Then couple it with the work done on spinal regeneration and it's a bright future indeed.
I did a program review at one high school here in the U.S. They were teaching them to use Microsoft Excel, doing a payroll 'app' I guess you could call it. But they had to manually calculate the tax withholding, etc. I asked the teacher why they weren't showing them VBA, pretty easy, or even a basic cell formula. With a straight face the teacher told me you needed all high math for computer programming.
Um no, you don't. Basic alegbra will get you pretty far. If you understand integer and modulo functions you're pretty well off. I actually wrote something akin to that in my review.
That Hubble also went WAY over budget, not to mention the incurred cost of sending a shuttle up not once but twice to fix and upgrade it. But it has delivered some seriously stunning photos. My favorite is the deep field they did, with the telescope pointed at what appeared to be an empty patch of space only to find it loaded with galaxies.
So even if the JWST is over budget, I'm sure we'll see even more stunning pictures and be able to explain more about the universe.
The field I'm in requires I pretty much live on UTC time. It's 20:25UTC at the moment. My workday runs from 13:00UTC to 21:00UTC. Lunch is at 16:00UTC.
Much easier.

T-Mobile won't simply go under. They did fine when they were OmniPoint, then VoiceStream and finally T-Mobile.
Give it time. Justice is just starting to stir regarding anti-trust again, so too the FCC.
Thing is, T-Mobile is a GSM carrier. That's why at&t wanted them in the first place because at&t is going in that direction too.
But I'm glad this deal is off. We don't need MORE consolidation of the market.

Cut military budge per year in HALF. Take the money and dump it into a starship program. We'll be on Alpha Centauri in five years.

Yes he was. I wonder what will become of Apple without the influence of his leadership.
Or a big enough induction furnace! That would be fun actually.
Sure, because I note every version since 4 breaks certain JAVA functionality. That's why I note they're still updating v3.6.x and are on v3.6.23 now.
I just got the Kindle app for my phone and I read them on there.

Yes indeed, I noticed that too. I also noted how lit up most of the Earth is at night. Talk about a big, glowing target!

They blocked 'scrotum', 'screw', and 'gonads'? This ought to make the science and engineering classes interesting.
